Pheromone Hotbox: New Book by Amanda Charchian

One of our favorite photographers, Amanda Charchian, has a new book out, Pheromone Hotbox, featuring her signature and stunning nudes in nature series. And of course, there is a sensual aspect to the work, with nude models used as figurative objects to the serene backdrops. But it is the landscapes and almost surreal nature of the balance between person and space that has always made Charchian one of the best working today.

"I have been preoccupied by the idea of pheromones and the emissions of our bodies as extrasensory devices of communication," Charchian told the Huffington Post. "Clothes distract from that. I am interested in photographing the part of a person that cannot be expressed solely with speech or a look from the eye." (via NYMAG)
